Financial Company is formed a s an auxiliary to the Great A sso ciations recently established. It is not the province of these Institutions to carry out th e • public works contemplated in the concessions they ob tain t . • They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera tru of contractors whose capital and position offer an un ...el:liable guarantee for the completion of the works, thus l'iieving the financial associations of that responsibility. The constantly increasing scale on which public works of all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved, place them beyond the reach of individual contractors un less supported-by joint-stock enterprise. This company has, therefore, been formed for th e pur pose of undertaking the execution of grea t public works , and arrangements have been entered into with well known contractors, by which contracts to the amount of L 11,000,000 sterling will be turned over to the Company. Among other contra cts handed over to the Company is that for the construction of the European Central Railway, which has been secur ed on favourable terms, and will be commenced forthwith. The active services of an eminent Contractor, whose busi ness has been secured, will be retained to execute the work k on terms highly a dvantageous to the Compan py, h a y m ent for e retainin a large interest in t he Com p any by receiving the transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited thereon. It is well known that many undertakings of great com mercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to ensure their completion. This Company, combining the in fluence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence on the part of governments, public bodies, and the great financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex tensive business on favourable terms. Prospectuses, with forms of application, may be obtained at the Offices of the Co m p any, also from the Brokers, Soli citors, and Bankers.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex tending the well-known iron ship-building establishment of Messrs. Martin Samuelson and Co., of 11 uIL The capabilities of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom— they occupy 11 acres of ground, with water th waterfrontage to the (river H um ber and river Hull , having a dep of establishment of 30 The present iron i.hip-building p o wer of the is equal to the construction of 20,00) tons per annum. at which Sam uelson and C ompany have orders on h a nd for ships Messrs ex ceeding 20,00) tons ; other large orders are offered, and it is proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present y .rd, and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company aye secured, so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing profitable demand or ships, and to erect rolling mills for the manufacture of the iron re quired for ship ng, as well as fbr all kinds of railway and engineer.ng works. In addition to the engineering works. foundry, and shit)* bnildicg yards, there is a p a tent slip for repairing ships of the largest class. This is a hi g hly vrofitable part cr. has been thebusi nese. The demand f or the use of this patent slip such that it has never been unemployed since Messrs. Samuel s,n and Company constructed it at a considerable cost some , years ago. The situation of this establishment gives it special advan tag,es over others of a like character. The pri e of ship-build- ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district of Yorkshire; coat is cheap, rails ays run into the works, and cone ct them with all parts of England. Freights are very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of Hull offers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con ditions. Two thousand workmen are now employed at the works. The present orders in hand for ships, env nes, generaldengineering work amount to above £300,C00, all at very remu nerative prices. Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who h a ve examined the work s, and who are specially acquainted with this branch of manufacture, show that after making large allowances -3 ) per cent. off the capabilities of the works, the trade will, with the judicious management and employment of the capital, rat urn a dividend of 20 per cent. and upwards to these nareholders, and if the works continue to be fully employ, a much larger amount. Tho te ms of r urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant and machinery, buildings, freehold and I easehold premises, together with al the stock of materials, are to b: taken at the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual way. The goodwill of the business, including the profit on works in hand, is to be paid for at one year's pur chase of the net profits, but on an average of three years' working. In the event of no allotment being made. the deposits will be returned in fu I. Should a less number of Blares be al otted than is app lied for. the deposit will be made available towards the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the applicant. lication for Shares m a y be Prospec tuses and Forms of App obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Comp ny, 21, Threadneedle -street, and 80, Lombard-street, and of the Brokers and Solicitors.

E ven the s 1 44 . ~:e?e, of Canada could not compare with it as'ti-'ti Le) progress, or length of line. The completion Of the r l works at the Delhi end of the line, had been im peded by considerations as to route, and in respect of the point of junction with the Punjanb line. The original course of the line had been altered by the Government, and it was now to go through the centre of the Dcab between two rivers in the direc tion of Delhi. The Panjeub line had also been altered so that both lines should enter Delhi. Ttose alteration s of route had caused great delay in finish ing the third great bridge, involving considerable expense to the company. The works cn the Juh• bull ore line we. re proceedin g very sstisfactorily, and there was every reason to be iieve that the line weuid be completed by the contract time in 1866. From information they had received, there was no deeht the works would be completed on the J ebbuipore line to its junction with the Bombay Itarlwee et Co. bulpore, and be ready fur exchanging traffic withthe Great Indian Peninsula Company when they could meet them wiih their line. Ho then adeerted to the working of the line during the post year, and thought the result wa s ver y satisfactory. The gr oss receipts of the two lines in the upper and lower provinces amounted for the year 1863 to .£990,000, being at the rate of £2O lOs 8d per mile per week. The net receipts, after deducting working ex penses amounted to £439,464, or an average of 2s. 6d. per mile per week. He then drew atteua Lion to the effect of filling up the link between Allahabad and llenares. He had frequently stated that when the railway was opened throughout their returns would show a large increase. The average for the whole year of the gross receipts of the Ben gal division was £23 7s 9d per mile per week.. week. Since the Ist of January last the returns showed that for the week ending the 10th of January the average receipt per mile was £29 8s; ending the 17th of January, £3O 16s 4d per mile ; "iiridtigirs - Viecifl'ainiary, £32 Ile 4d per mile; ' and for the week ending the 31st of January, £34 108 ld per mile. This was one of the immediate effects of opening the line throughout, raising the average receipts per mile from £23 7s 9d for 1863 to £34 10s id for the last week in January. On their other line, in the North-West Provinces, the average receipt per mile per week was £l5 7s 5d during 1863, and for this line they had the returna a month later. The receipts per mile per week for the four weeks in February last were at the rate of £2O 2s 11d, £2l lOs ld, £24, and £26 19a 4d re. spectively, showing a similar result in the upper provinces. So far he thought he might congratu late the shareholders on the opening of the line throughout. He believed the present traffic was an earnest of what they should have eventually. With the increase of traffic it was very desirable they should have economy of working. The cost of car rying the traffic had considerably increased; it arose in some respects from carrying a very largo amount of traffic over a single line. There was another reason in the large amount they paid for wages to Europeans. Every engine -driver must be a European. The wages they gave were £lB a month, which was double the amount paid in Europe. When they considered that less work was done for the money, the cost of sending men out to India, and other matters, the average cost of European labour in India was 5 to 1 in England. In the revenue account of the Bengal division they would perceive that £86,000 had been expended on the locomotive de partment, which was 25 per cent. of the working expenses. Of that amount £38,000 was for wags of enginedrivers and cleaners. The expenditure had engaged the serious consideration of the Board, and they had called the attention of their officers to the subject. Again, in the revenue account of the rail way in the North-West Provinces, there was a heavy charge for fuel—X4l,ooo, or about 33 per cent of the total expenses. Of that sum £24,000 was the cost of coal, coke, and wood. This included a charge for loss of weight in wood fuel, which be longed to the previous half year. This item brought him to a point in reference to the alternative line proposed a long time since by the Board for passing through a district of country containing valuable coal deposits, with the view of supplying their en gines with excellent coal. The Government at Last had consented to adopt the directors' view. The line of country would open the route to Patna. Three routes from their main line to the coal deposits had been surveyed by their engineers, and he supposed by the end of the year the ( iovernment would come to some decision as to the route. It would shorten the distance for carrying through traffic by nearly 100 miles, and save the expense of doubling the circuitous portion of the mein line between the points of junction with the proposed new line. They had not yet disposed of their large flotilla, as it was not easy to find purchasers. If out of the £584,000 expended on those vessels and their machinery they should be able to place a comparatively small sum to the credit of capital, the rest would be amply covered by the advantage already gained of being enabled to complete the line so much sooner by the aid of the flotilla than they possibly could without it. The establishment of the audit department in India had realised all their anticipations as to the satisfactory audit of the accounts. Nothing was ex pended without the sanction of the Government offi cer, and the interests of the shareholders were pro tected. He believed the statement of the accounts was a fair and faithful record of what was done in India. There was also an audit committee, consist ing of members of the Board, to examine every.. thing. They had a bill now before Parliament which would be submitted to the proprietors for their approval at the proper time, iu compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lards. They sought power in it to alter the times of hold ing the annual and half-yearly meetings, holding them a month or two later to give time for the pre paration of the accounts. They proposed to esta blish a savings -bank for their army of servants in India, which he had no doubt would be of great advantage to them. They also proposed to ask for power to raise seven millions of additional capital, which, with the 20 millions already authorised, and three millions borrowing power, would make an even sum of 30 millions. The cost of the line and works from various circumstances had been much greater than was originally anticipated. The price of materials and labour had since they commenced greatly increased in amount. Had Government permitted the terminal station at Howrah two or three years ago to be en larged to accommodate the immense traffic in the manner proposed by the directors, a considerable saving in the cost would have been effected; and this was also the case with regard to the delay of other necessary works. The traffic on the line hs.d reached £34 per mile per week, and the direeto , t s were now anxious to provide ample station accom. modation and working stock to earn £4O per mile per week, This rendered a large portion of the proposed additional capital necessary. The effects of the great changes in the economy of India had been to enlarge its resources, and if the railway company intended to realise theadvantage of a large traffic on their line they must provide the m ea ns of carrying and accommodating it in every respect. Mr. MORGAN said if they were to realise more than the 5 per cent. guarantee the Working expenses must be reduced from 60 per cent, to something like 50 per cent., and if they were to pal a large divi dend they must secure the coal traffic. Mr. HARTRIDGE wished to know whether the cost of the new line intended to pass through the coal deposits was included in the proposed £7,000,000 of additional capital. The CHAIRMAN said they had put down £2,c00,000 for that purpose, and £1,000,000 for doubling a portion of the main line. The report was unanimously adopted ; the retir ing directors and auditors were re-elected, and Air. Godfrey was elected an auditor.

The weather underwent a great change on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday it was so eel(' that visitors to the Heath required their overcoats. Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the clouds, the attendance on the One Thousand day, though it would bear no comparison to Tuesday, was quite equal to that of previous years, and greatly in excess of that of any other day excepting the Two Thousand. After the closing of the Telegraph office on Wednesday night, some important changes occurred in the betting on the One,Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby. For the first-mentioned race Gazza Ladra finished decidedly favourite, as little as 4 to 1 being bo o ked at the close, Mas querade and Sardinia finding supporters at 6 to 1, whilst Molly Carew declined to 7 to 1, and Tooi Tooi to 100 to 8. Blair Athol was backed for the Derby to win upwards of £25,000 at all prices, from 28 to 1 down to 13 to 1, and Bacchus was brought from the outside price of 25 to 1 to 15 to 1, at which latter price he was freely sup ported for the Chester Cup, and Little Stag at 100 to 8, and Oldminister at 20 to 1, also received substantial support for the Rhoodee event. prior to moving for the Heath this morning, speculation upon the One Thousand was carried on with animation. Masquerade re turned to first favourite, Gazza Ladra being driven to 6 to 1, whilst & to 1 was taken about Sardinia, 7 to 1 about Sis ter to Drake, 7 to 1 offered agst Molly Carew, 10 to 1 ago Tooi Tool, and 100 to 8 agst Tomato. Beyond several 100's to 6 and 100's to 7 being accepted about Beckey Sharpe, nothing of the outside lot were supported. The morning speculation on the Chester Cup consisted of 600 to 20 each agst Tippler and My Mary (taken), whilst the highest offer agst Bacchus was 100 to 8. The card for this day corn prised eight races inclusive of a match, and the overnight entries were as numerous as any of the preceding days, as our return given below will indicate. Commencing at 1.30 and concluding at 5 o'clock, there was a busy afternoon pro vided for the " metallicians," and betting on the various events to decide was most spirited, more particularly on the principal contest, which was appointed for three o'clock. As already mentioned, the crowd was by no means so great as on Tuesday, nevertheless there was a very large assemblage of spectators, and double rows of carriages, equestriaus,and pedestrians lined each side of the ropes, and the " run in." Unlike the glorious at eather of Tuesday, the atmosphere continued cloudy and cold during the sport, except towards the conclusion, when the sun broke out ; but it was only a transient gleam, and the cold gloom returned. The racing were of an ordinary o o f f the th e o:day2, One 3 admits Thousand, thetl o events cha racter. The success of Vivid, however, in the Plate of XlOO over the Rowley Mile, beating such clippers as Wingrave, Bathilde, Caroline, Gomma, ecc., caused fresh irritation fii Y for the Two Thou saamnodn;g as s he p r b io ac r k t e o rs th o o f r th ao e e Fene o r n h Tuesday it had been con stantly asserted that Fills de r Air could accomplish won ders with Vivid. It is a re 4 markable fact, but Jenning's favourites never win when supported by the public. The One Thousand Guineas created a deal of interest among the speculators, and in the betting ring the New market Oaks evidently gave rise to some spirited specula tion. Little alteration was noticeable in the tone of the market at the finish. Sardinia left off favourite at 7to 2, while 5 to 1 was booked about Masquerade and MollyCarew, who were in favour, and towards the close advanced to 6 to 1, and in certain cases less odds were accepted. Tomato ranked next, but about her as much as 10 to 1 could always be obtained, and being by no means heavily supported, she was a comparative outsider. The race was preceded by several failures, caused chiefly by the intractability of Gazza Ladra and Goldylocks; indeed the latter, who possesses a notorious temper, once or twice bolted out of the course. Every feature of the race will be found described below, but we may chronicle with satisfaction the fact that Baron Rothschild's two fillies, Tomato and Breeze, finished first and second, which was received with as many demonstra tions of enthusiasm as General Peel's victory, the Baron being one of the most princely supporters of Newmarket and a lover of the national pastime in all its purity and dig nity. Singularly enough, in the One Thousand last year Lord Stamford achieved a parallel triumph, his lordship's fillies, Lady Augusta and Flying Fish, having it will be remembered finished first and second. The favourites were thoroughly beaten, and we believe there was no excuse for their defeat except Molly Carew's, as Harry Gritashaw, her jockey, alleged that Masquerade cannoned against her, and t w ha as t u aa p n w c a l r u d d s e f at t o u 5 r a l , e c n l a s c t k h : e a w n e d r e thelo s e t o t m h e p r a e n b y y . 1 e f The ht the h a c e i a n t h g enld and. ebrer!"R.

When the 15 runners appeared in sight, Beckey Sh rpe on the extreme left of everything, and Linda in the middle of the horses, were slightly in front, close up with the latter mare on either side being Molly Carew, Rouge Crosse, the Baron's two, Gazza Ladra, and Sister to Drake, Sardinia, Goldylocks, and Tooi Tooi being well up. Half a mile from home Beckey Sharpe gave way, and Linda, Breeze, and Molly Carew drew away from the rest, these three being closely followed by Tomato and Tooi Tool. Ap proaching tho cords, Molly Carew, who had throughout run unkindly, evinced symptoms of distress, and thereupon Tomato went to the front, and coming away a distance from home she won easily by two lengths.

Yesterday in Lord Stanley's Committee on the Metropolitan Railways the evidence of Sir C. Fox was finished relative to the engineering features of the proposed new lines at Battersea of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, after which Mr. Holroyd, one of the directors of the company, was examined by Mr. Rodwell and Mr. Somerset upon the general details of the undertaking, and the case for the promoters of the bill closed, alter some fur ther evidence from Mr. Forbes. The case for the competing lines of the London and South-Western Company at Battersea was then opened. It is pro posed to construct a railway of 71i chains at Bat tersea to connect that company's Richmond line with the West London Extension Railway, and to carry out a diversion of the existing branch of the West London Extension Railway, which joins the company's main line near Falcon-bridge at Batter sea, the works to be completed within three years Agreements are to be entered into between the com pany and the West London Extension and the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover Companies with respect to the construction, use, and traffic of the intended line at Battersea. The company propose to raise for the purpose £24,000 on share capital, and £B,OOO by mortgage. A committee, Sir F. Goldsmid in the chair, met to consider the proposed East Nor folk Railway. Toe case was opened by Mr. Mere wother, Q.C., the witnesses examined in its favour being Lord Wodehouse, Lord Suffield, and other landowners. Mr. Bidder, C.E., described the line, which is oppa3ed by Mr. Venables for the naviga done and other interests. The bill for the Knot End and Garstang Railway was passed. After having previously passed the bill of the London and North-Western for extending and improving their traffic arrangements between England and Ire land, the committee of which Mr. Baillie is chair man decided on clauses giving the same facilities for traffic wi►h Irish railway and steam navigation companies to the railway companies and other interests opposing. Mr. Piercy was examined on the engineering merits of the \Vrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Bill, and further general evidence occupied the committee on the Great Northern extension from Lincoln to Bourn. The committee of which the Duke of Devonshire is chairman passed the Stokes Bay Railway and Pier Bill, but intimated that they were not in a position to decide relative to the subscription contract. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. Yesterday a special meeting of the proprietors was held at tho Waterloo Station—Captain Mangles in the chair. The CILURBIAN said there were altogether 15 bills —four only of which, however, were promoted by the company. The other 11 were introduced by other companies, and in which provisions were con tained conferring powers on or having clauses affecting the London and South-Western Company. Only four of the bills could be dealt with by the meeting, as the remainder were not ready. Mr. Burcham, the company's solicitor, then read the heads of a bill to authorise the company to make a railway from Kensington to Richmond, and junc tion lines communicating with the Hammersmith and City Railway and tbe North and South-Western Junction Railways, and to raise further moneys and to authorise arrangements. Mr. HEREPATH wished to know whether the proposed new lines were calculated to bring them into collision with other companies. The CHAIRMAN said no, but that on the contrary they were calcuiated to avert any such eventgality. He then proposed the approval of the bill, and Mr. DUTTON having seconded it, it was carried unanimously. Mr. Burnham then recited the preamble and clauses of the second bill, which was a bill for authorising the company to make a railway from Chertsey to the Staines and Wokiugham Railway at Egham, and for otherpnrposes. Mr. HITCHINS seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The next bill was promoted by another company, to authorise certain deviations from the Oakhamp ton lines, and to raise further moneys. Capt. JOHNSON seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. The last bill was to authorise the West London Docks and Warehouses Company to execute further works and to make arrangements with other com panies to raise further money. Mr. MORTIMER seconded the approval of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. _ _ The meeting then adjourned to the 12th of May. EAST INDIAN. The 17th annual meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P., in the chair. The report was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said it was the 20th occasion on which it had been his pri vilege and duty to preside at their general meetings. It was a great gratification to him to be able to state that the line from Calcutta to Delhi was open for trsffic with the exception of the bridge over the Jurnna at Allahabad. They could now take pas sengers over their line from Calcutta to Delhi and vice versa, a distance of 1 ; 020 miles. The progress they had made in the works during the past five years had been very considerable; they had no means of comparing the vast marks on their line with those in any other country. He thought every one mast admit that notwithstanding the various difficulties and obstructions thrown in their way from time to time, the progress they had ande was very satisfactory. They could not compare the works of any line in England either for magnitude or length of continuous line with their East Indian ;;• , v 7 , 0; not a lint on ery 1)0 - , of the con- NEW NOVEL. BY M.
